Subject: unpack-trees: FLEX_ARRAY fix

In unpack-trees.c (line 593), we do

	..
	if (same(old, merge)) {
		*merge = *old;
	} else {
	..

and that "merge" is a cache_entry pointer. If we have a non-zero
FLEX_ARRAY size, it will cause us to copy the first few bytes of the
name too.

That is technically wrong even for FLEX_ARRAY being 1, but you'll never
notice, since the filenames should always be the same with the current
code.  But if we do the same thing for a rename, we'd be screwed.
